<h1>Running a report</h1>
<p>You can click on a report's name to run any report you have permissions 
 to access. Reports are organized into folders in MicroStrategy projects. 
 When you run a report, it is executed and displayed as either a grid (similar 
 to a spreadsheet), a graph, or both a grid and a graph on the same screen, 
 depending on how the report was saved. </p>
<p>For more information about different ways to view a report, see 
<a HREF="Grid_view.htm">Viewing 
 a report in Grid view</a>, 
<a HREF="Graph_view.htm">Viewing a report in 
 Graph view</a>, and 
<a HREF="View_report_in_GG_view.htm">Viewing a report 
 in Grid and Graph view</a>.</p>
<h2>To run a report</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>Navigate to the folder that contains the report you 
 want to run. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Click the name of the report to run the report. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>If the Wait Page appears as your report is executing, 
 you can click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Add to my History List 
 </B></span>to automatically save a copy of the report in your History List 
 when the report is finished executing. This does not affect the current 
 execution of the report. You can then view the report in your History 
 List at any time, after it is saved there. You can save a report to your 
 History List at any time. For information about the History List, see 
 
<a HREF="Viewing_report_and_document_results.htm">Viewing reports and 
 documents in your History List</a>. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>If you are presented with a prompt question, you must 
 answer the prompt(s) before the results of the report are displayed. See 
 
<a HREF="Running_prompted_reports.htm">Running prompted reports</a> for 
 steps to answer the prompts.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>After the report is displayed, you can specify whether 
 the results appear in a grid or a graph. From the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>View</B></span> 
 menu, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Grid</B></span>, <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Graph</B></span>,
